    .....Gene, nice pic, however that is the real trunk …. if you look a bit further in the Corvette pic catalog you will find the pretty large cavity at the nose of the Corvette they call a Frunk …… Thanks for looking … Mike

    I read about the new Corvette a couple of days ago. And, yup, they refer to the storage in the front as a FRUNK. It is claimed to have enough room for a standard airline carry-on bag. I had never heard of the term, frunk until I got the Spyder. Seems like we are trendsetters..... Jim

    I remember that well. I bought a brand new 1968. It cost me a full $1,688 bucks. People used to make comments about the engine in the back and its distinctive sound as well as hey...there's no engine in the front.

    Previously : 2008 GS-SM5 (silver), 2009 RS-SE5 (red), 2010 RT-S Premier Editon #474 (black) 2011 RT A&C SE5 (magnesium) 2014 RTS-SE6 (yellow)

    IT HAS BEEN A LONG, WONDERFUL, AND FUN RIDE.

    The term Frunk may or may not have originated with the Spyder community but I do know there is more than one person that is active in both groups. IE there are a number of GM folks that own Spyders and even more Corvette owners that do.
